“Thank you, Seattle, for being one of the most progressive cities in the United States of America,” socialist-cum-Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders shouted to the large crowd in the City of Goodwill.
Seconds later, two women with a local Black Lives Matter group jumped the stage, threatening to shut down the event. Quickly, they were rewarded for their extortion-by-tantrum. Sen. Sanders and company relinquished the microphone, podium and stage.
The kidnapped crowd booed the violation, only to be screamed at by Marissa Johnson, one of the protesters, as “a bunch of screaming white racists,” who practice “white supremacist liberalism.”
“I was going to tell Bernie how racist this city is, filled with its progressives, but you did it for me,” Johnson added.
Angry audience members yelled, “How dare you?!” and “How dare she call me a racist.”
“You guys are full of bull-$@%# with your ‘black lives matter,’” she chided, acknowledging that the event had already recognized the anniversary of Michael Brown’s shooting in Ferguson, Missouri.
What a fascinating marriage of outrage and entitlement!
And yet … real grievances abound.
“Welcome to Seattle,” Johnson told Bernie, “where our Seattle Police Department has been under federal consent decree for the past three years, and yet has been riddled by use of force, racial profiling, and scandals throughout the year.”
Sen. Sanders doesn’t even stand up for his own speech rights, much less ours. Apparently fearing the loudmouths, he proved unwilling to confront them or address their complaints.
Sanders and his “progressive” Democrat comrades (governing cities like Baltimore and Seattle) must take responsibility for the results of their policies, and admit that the black voices shouting against racism are shouting at them.
This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.

Progressives are racist?
What’s racist about gutting the manufacturing base so that poor people have no place to go to climb out of poverty and become middle-class?
What’s racist about forcing the poor to stay on under-performing schools? What’s racist about continually inflating the currency so that the dollars doled out on welfare become worth less while the amount given rises to where it is more expensive to take a job?
What’s racist about importing poor uneducated people from foreign countries to compete with America’s poor minorities?
What’s racist about giving taxpayer dollars to a private corporation that mostly aborts minority babies while the absence of a father is subsidized?
Pretty much everything.
Well said, as usual.
.… the “Democrats” that are “governing” such cities as Baltimore and Seattle, must (1) take responsibility for the consequences of their policies and (2) admit that the voices shouting about “racism” are shouting at them .…
“Take responsibility?” Good luck with that one. Creating the maximum dissent among those over whom they are able to assert authority empowers “Democrats.” The hatred and rage we are witnessing has been wilfully generated, is as deliberately fueled — and the “voices shouting at them” are but the measure of their success!

Good points. But we must keep pointing it out. Demanding urban Dem pols take responsibility, even though they won’t. And, most of all, keep organizing those of us who see what’s happening.
